While Tessa points her boyfriend Ryan toward a college of her choice, George tries to point Dallas toward a deeper relationship, as he asks her to move in with him. Granted, none of the relationships or characters in Suburgatory are designed to be examined too closely or believed in too fervently, which is one reason the show is so easy to dismiss. But even under Suburgatory's ridiculously relaxed standards, is there anyone who really buys the relationship between George and Dallas, or thinks combining their families would be a real-world good idea? It just plays like one of those stories that is strictly a matter of sitcom convenience.

Benjamin Bratt returns as Manny's father, Javier, and to Gloria's great annoyance, he has a girlfriend in tow. What's bad for Gloria, however, could be great for viewers, because the girlfriend is played by Paget Brewster, who was so wonderfully funny in Andy Richter Controls the Universe. Now that she is, thank goodness, liberated from Criminal Minds, let's see if TV can't find her a permanent spot back in the sitcom world. Or if she wants to stay in drama, at least give her one that's worthy of her.
